Final Idea Decision

I have decided that I would like to go ahead with the second idea that I briefed on my previous idea update posts. The brief is copied below to remind you of it. I showed both my family and friends both of the idea briefs and both of the initial storyboards, and asked them to tell me which of the two they preferred. Before I started I knew that I wanted to go ahead with the second idea, however to ensure that this was the correct decision and what the audience would want I decided to ask other people. There is evidence below (a few example messages) that show this.

Idea Brief
The opening will start with an old teddy bear (pictured below) sat in a box full of items, like somebody would be moving house. Then a lady would take the teddy out and say something like, "Aww, my childhood teddy! I do not really need it anymore...". The lady would then throw it in a bin bag and take it outside to the bin. The next shot will show the teddy sat on a rocking chair back within the house. The camera will then pan to show the front door being opened, where the lady will come back in from taking out the rubbish. The lady will go straight up the stairs to bed, and therefore will not notice the teddy bear back in the house. As the lady is going up the stairs a tragedy will happen, for example she will fall down the stairs or something. The camera will then go back on to the teddy bear. If done properly, the editing should show that paranormal powers coming from the teddy bear are responsible for the woman falling down the stairs. The camera will close up on to the woman's face to show her unconscious, and then it will fade to black and show the name of the film.

Messages
I sent the same message out to four people - my mum, dad, sister and friend. I ask if they could help me make a decision, and include the two ideas.

3/4 of them said that they preferred the second idea over the first idea. This has helped me decide on going with the second idea because it confirms that it is an idea that people want to see and should therefore be successful.

Like I have previously said, I will create a more developed and advanced storyboard for this idea now that I know for definite that I will be going ahead with it. This storyboard will include different things, such as camera shots, to show me how the film opening should eventually look.
